Barrow Lion

also traded as Red Lion

West, 52.24069,0.58501

Closed: between 1958 and 1981?

Lion Green

grid reference TL 765 634

The Red Lion is shown on this old OS map from about the end of the 19th century (interactive map). It isn't entirely clear which building was actually the pub - could it in fact have been the smaller building to the rear rather than the one facing the green?

pub on old OS map

The pub is shown on the 1958 OS map, but not on the 1981 sheet, so presumably closed some time in between.
